I'm working on my life's goal of visiting 1,000 famous graves in my lifetime (and hopefully more)! You can see who I have visited, who I want to visit, the people that I've wanted to visit the most, and the people I want to visit the most in my virtual cemetery list. I am also working on visiting all of the Presidential Libraries. My avatar is Patrick Swayze's star.

If you need/want to email me, please put Find a Grave (or a variation) OR the name of the person's grave you are emailing about. If it is a non-famous person please also include Find a Grave (or a variation) also in the subject line. Otherwise, it will be deleted as Spam. Also, it is better to email me than to leave a message here. I check my email much more often than the Find a Grave page these days. Thanks!

RE: Felix CorsiYou're quite welcome. I was honored to visit your dad, (and your mom). I'm very sorry that they are no longer here, and please accept my condolences to you and your family. Your dad passed away 9 days after my mom. ~~~ And I remember, and miss those penny candy machines too. (loved when they had the tiny little toy charms in them).Regards, Patty

Cpl James W. ReeseCpl James W. Reese was a soldier of Company F 26th Infantry Regiment 1th Infantry Division, participating in the invasion of Sicily in July 1943 (operation Husky). He was killed on 5 August 1943. He was buried in the temporary American Cemetery GELA in plot-grave E-52-623, date of burial was 9 August 1943.

After the war his remains were repatriated and buried in a cemetery in the United States.

I am writing a book about the temporary cemetery GELA, and also want to include information and/or picture you posted on the website, of course you will be credited. You will be notified when the book will be finished next year.

If you are related, perhaps you may have information/documentation or his picture, any information is more than welcome

RodneyDear fellow F.A.G. photo volunteer, thank you so much for your kind reply and explanation. Just yesterday, I had to write a departed's name on a piece of paper and place it with flowers, at the site of the interment, which had no marker. The creator of the memorial on F.A.G. kept bugging me for a picture! I consider myself a liason between the departed's family and Vista Memorial Gardens (where I 'work') I am always diplomatic and polite, and try to accomodate everyone as best I can. Bless you for your explanation. :D
